* webapp: Detect when upgrades are available, and upgrade if the user
desires.
(Only when git-annex is installed using the prebuilt binaries
from git-annex upstream, not from eg Debian.)
* assistant: Detect when the git-annex binary is modified or replaced,
and either prompt the user to restart the program, or automatically
restart it.
* annex.autoupgrade configures both the above upgrade behaviors.
* Added support for quvi 0.9. Slightly suboptimal due to limitations in its
interface compared with the old version.
* Bug fix: annex.version did not get set on automatic upgrade to v5 direct
mode repo, so the upgrade was performed repeatedly, slowing commands down.
* webapp: Fix bug that broke switching between local repositories
that use the new guarded direct mode.
* Android: Fix stripping of the git-annex binary.
* Android: Make terminal app show git-annex version number.
* Android: Re-enable XMPP support.
* reinject: Allow to be used in direct mode.
* Futher improvements to git repo repair. Has now been tested in tens
of thousands of intentionally damaged repos, and successfully
repaired them all.
* Allow use of --unused in bare repository.

I think that git-recover-repository is ready now. Made it deal with the
|
|
index file referencing corrupt objects. The best approach I could think of
|
|
for that is to just remove those objects from the index, so the user can
|
|
re-add files from their work tree after recovery.
|
|
|
|
Now to integrate this git repository repair capability into the git-annex
|
|
assistant. I decided to run `git fsck` as part of a scheduled
|
|
repository consistency check. It may also make sense for the assistant to
|
|
notice when things are going wrong, and suggest an immediate check. I've
|
|
started on the webapp UI to run a repository repair when fsck detects
|
|
problems.
